Mother England Songtext
von Cecil Sharp Project

Mother England

As mother england sang for me
I′ll sing this song for you
It is always fair and from the heart
And sweet as morning dew
And sweet as morning dew

My lover's words were gentle
He is sweet and wise
While we were stitching cobwebs
We were mending clouds
We were mending clouds


I put words to the river
It rained upon the roof
It sang songs of lovers fast and
Songs of lovers true
Songs of lovers true

And it′s a fine and pleasant morning
To take you to the fair
Those songs are sung, the day is long
And magic fills the air
Magic fills the air

But the flowers of love will fade away
From green unto gold
Now you are taken and gone from me
This house is full of gold
This house is full of gold
